Nevada requires managers, or managing members if no manager is named on its public LLC filing. Nevada republishes a manager's name every year on its Annual List, so a Wyoming holding LLC has to occupy that slot from formation onward for the privacy to hold. See our Wyoming holding company guide and full list of anonymous LLC states for more.

Nevada has a reputation for privacy that its own filing requirements don't fully back up. NRS 86.263 requires the Initial List, filed alongside the Articles of Organization, and every Annual List after to publicly name the LLC's managers — or its managing members if no manager is designated. What Nevada genuinely offers is no state income tax and an exclusive-remedy charging order statute (NRS 86.401) that expressly covers single-member LLCs. To get real name privacy on top of that, owners name a Wyoming holding LLC as the manager, so the only name Nevada ever publishes is the Wyoming entity's.
Nevada does not require non-managing member names on any filing, but NRS 86.263 requires the Initial List (filed with the Articles) and every Annual List after to publicly name the LLC's managers, or its managing members if there is no manager. A plain Nevada LLC therefore puts a real name on the public record every year — Nevada is not a name-privacy state on its own, despite a reputation that suggests otherwise.
Because NRS 86.263 forces a manager or managing member onto the public Annual List every year, the standard fix is a two-tier structure: a Wyoming holding LLC is named as the manager of the Nevada LLC, so the only name Nevada publishes — at formation and on every Annual List afterward — is the Wyoming entity's. Nevada's genuine draw is elsewhere: no state income tax, and a charging-order statute (NRS 86.401) that explicitly protects single-member LLCs, a feature many states leave uncertain. Pairing that with a Wyoming parent gets you Nevada's tax and creditor profile with Wyoming's name privacy layered on top — but it means budgeting for two annual filings and Nevada's comparatively steep $350 annual renewal.
A Wyoming manager on Nevada's Annual List keeps a name off Nevada's public record, but the beneficial owners of both entities must still be reported to FinCEN under the Corporate Transparency Act, which is not a public database.
NRS § 86.401 — exclusive remedy protection, including single-member LLCs. Since a 2011 amendment, Nevada's statute names the charging order as the exclusive remedy "whether the limited-liability company has one member or more than one member" and bars foreclosure — one of the clearest single-member protections in the country, comparable to Wyoming's.
Every Nevada LLC owes a $350 annual renewal (a $150 Annual List plus a $200 State Business License renewal), due by the last day of the LLC's anniversary month. There is no Nevada state income tax, franchise tax, or estate tax; the Commerce Tax applies only above $4 million in Nevada gross revenue.

Not by default. NRS 86.263 requires the Initial List and every Annual List to name the LLC's managers, or its managing members if none is named, and that record is public. Nevada is known for tax advantages and strong asset protection, not name privacy, on its own.
Name a Wyoming holding LLC as the manager on the Initial List and every subsequent Annual List. Nevada's public record then shows the Wyoming entity rather than an individual, and Wyoming's own filing discloses no owners.
Yes — since a 2011 amendment, NRS 86.401 expressly makes the charging order the exclusive remedy whether the LLC has one member or more, one of the clearer single-member protections among the states.
Bottom line: Nevada's Annual List publishes a manager's name every year, so anonymity here depends on a Wyoming holding LLC occupying that role — Nevada's real strengths are its tax profile and single-member charging-order protection, not name privacy on its own.
